Breakfast at Tiffany's

Here is a fabulous brooch that I'm working on for a special order. I haven't finished it yet, nothing is attached, I've just layered everything on top of each other:) I naming this one "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Who isn't a fan of that movie?!?! It is the epitomy of chic and glamour. The birth of the "black" dress.

I did a Breakfast at Tiffany's theme for my sisters bridal shower. It.Was.So.Much.Fun!!! I had a blast with the planning of it!!! I can't for the life of me find my pictures but if I ever find them I'll have to do another post on it;) All the guests were asked to come dressed in black and bathed in pearls and babbles. I had Tiffany & Co. bags EVERYWHERE with white tissue and huge glass diamonds propped beside them. I also had pearls draped on the bags. Centered on the tables were white roses and tea lights with stacks of the Tiffany blue boxes tied with white ribbon. I bought every poster known to man of that movie and had them displayed throughout the clubhouse. I also had the movie playing while the guests were mingling and eating. I had dinner catered and for desert everyone got their own mini fondant cake, a Tiffany blue box with white ribbon . As a giveaway all guests received a small Tiffany colored blue box and white satin ribbon with a huge diamond engagement ring that was a keyring:)

I printed this picture out and printed out the invitation on the vellum {I LOVE using vellum} and used it as an overlay on the picture. I also dotted all the I's with rhinestone. I attached everything to a Tiffany blue colored card stock and wrapped with a white satin ribbon:) Simple and elegant.

I think this image is one of my favorites. I've also been dying to thank everyone for their wonderful compliments!!!For all the new comers. WELCOME!! :) Well, that's all for now. Ta ta for now Dahlings!!

Thank you Jenni and Jenni:) I'll have to ask my sister if she has any of them because I'm thinking I didn't take many because I was so busy playing host:) It was a lot of fun! I would totally do it again!:)

Thank you ladies!!:) Like the bridal shower I had fun making this brooch!! I always get so excited when I do new things!!! It keeps life fresh and inspiring. I'm already thinking of the next brooch I'm wanting to make. Has to do with another Audrey Hepburn movie....:)
